How long does my order take to be delivered?

Ground can take up to 7 business days; 3 Day Select can take up to 5 business days and 2nd Day Air or Next Day Air can both take 2-3 business days from order date to be delivered. Most orders are shipped UPS and tracking numbers are provided. As a convenience you can track your UPS package here by selecting "Products shipped via UPS". At times it becomes necessary to ship using US Postal Service some of which are not provided tracking numbers. When tracking numbers are provided you can track your USPS package here by selecting "Products shipped via USPS".

**Costumers Network reserves the right to alter shipping methods at our discretion. For estimated shipping times for UPS ONLY please use our UPS shipping map. Click here for current year shipping updates.

Please remember that Halloween is our busiest season. We ship all orders as soon as possible, however, sometimes orders may be delayed during this time and can take longer to process. We apologize for this inconvenience and ask that you be patient. We also suggest that you choose an air shipping method like 3 Day Select or 2nd Day Air to further expedite the shipping to compensate for longer processing time.

Can my shipping address be a PO Box?

Costumers Network ships orders using both UPS and USPS, therefore, your shipping address can be a Post Office Box. You will need to select USPS as the carrier during the checkout process. Failure to do so will result in delays in processing and shipping.

"No Tracking Information Available"? (UPS ONLY)

This means that a UPS tracking number has been assigned and your package has been boxed, taped and labeled. UPS has picked up the package but they have not uploaded the data to their main computer system making it "Temporarily Unavailable". Once UPS updates their system the information will become available.

"Electronic Shipping Info Received"? (USPS ONLY)

This means that a USPS tracking number has been assigned and your package has been boxed, taped and labeled. USPS has been notified but they have not scanned the package and uploaded the data to their main computer system generating this message. Once USPS scans the package and updates their system more information will become available.

How will I know when my order is placed?

You will receive an email confirmation whenever the status of your order is updated by our system. You can also check the status at anytime by clicking on the "Order Status" button at the top of the page and entering your order details.

How do I know what size to buy?

Our sizing chart is an estimate of child & adult clothing sizes. If you are unsure of what size to buy it is advised that you measure your child and gather as much information as possible before you place the order and if you are still unsure then don't hesitate to contact us for advice.

**Please Note: All available information on sizing or color is added to the product detail description page. Please do not email us for additional information as it is not available.

How can I return or exchange an item?

Due to the nature of the costume business, some styles are subject to change without notice due to manufacturer's production. The manufacturers do not notify us of these variations and they are beyond our control. Upon notification web site descriptions and images will be updated to reflect as accurately as possible the final product you will receive. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We recommend that you emails us prior to placing an order if verification of design or color is necessary.

Important Information Regarding PayPal® Payments!

It is PayPal's advice to retailers that we ship ONLY to Confirmed addresses. It is in the customers best interest, therefore, to "Confirm" their shipping address with PayPal to avoid any delays. "Although the vast majority of PayPal transactions are completed without incident, it's impossible to completely eliminate the risk of fraud or chargebacks". For that reason Costumers Network will only ship to confirmed addresses. Currently only addresses in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom can be confirmed. If your shipping address is to a country outside of these we reccomend using our regular checkout system and not PayPal.
